Shots fired, chase caught on surveillance
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Frightening surveillance shows people ducking from gunfire, as police said a car fled from a shooter and numerous rounds can be heard going off in the video.
It happened around 3 p.m. April 30 in the busy intersection of Whitefoord Avenue and Arkwright Place in southeast Atlanta's Edgewood neighborhood. Despite the numerous rounds heard, no one reported anyone hurt or any buildings or cars struck.
Investigators found evidence of at least two weapons used: a 9 mm shell casing and a casing from a 7.62 x 39, which is usually fired by an AK-47.
